I have an 01 SXR 700 with 5000kms on it and at the end of last season it started to run poorly so I parked it. This season I got it running and cleaned the carbs and all the other preseason stuff but it won't idle properly and the headlights are dim. It is also getting harder to start. I checked the stator and it specs out perfectly with no shorts to ground. I also checked the wiring harness under the motor and found no bare wires or broken wires. When it starts the tach needle just bounces at 0 and doesn't respond if I can make it
rev up.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.

Yeah if you can get it to rev the lights stay dim. Carbs and engine are ok.
The problem started to show last year near the end of a ride. I'm thinking reg/rect.
